Note 3-Reportable Business Segments

 

The Company has two reportable business segments: (i) Interconnect Products and Assemblies and (ii) Cable Products. The Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment produces connectors and connector assemblies primarily for the communications, aerospace, industrial and automotive markets. The Cable Products segment produces coaxial and flat ribbon cable and related products primarily for the communications markets, including cable television. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the Company as a whole. The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments on, among other things, profit or loss from operations before interest, headquarters expense allocations, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, amortization related to certain intangible assets and nonrecurring gains and losses.

Note 5-Noncontrolling Interests

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires companies to classify expenses related to noncontrolling interests’ share in income below net income (earnings per share will still be determined after the impact of the noncontrolling interests’ share in net income of the Company).  In addition, SFAS 160 requires the liability related to noncontrolling interests to be presented as a separate caption within equity.   The presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS 160 were retroactively applied.

Note 6-Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common shares outstanding, which relates to stock options. A reconciliation of the basic average common shares outstanding to diluted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 7-Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the course of pursuing its normal business activities, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims. Management does not expect that amounts, if any, which it may be required to pay by reason of such proceedings or claims will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

Certain operations of the Company are subject to environmental laws and regulations which govern the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, as well as the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. The Company believes that its operations are currently in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and that the costs of continuing compliance will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Subsequent to the acquisition of Amphenol Corporation from Allied Signal Corporation (“Allied Signal”) in 1987 (Allied Signal merged with and into Honeywell International, Inc. in December 1999 (“Honeywell”)), Amphenol Corporation and Honeywell were named jointly and severally liable as potentially responsible parties in connection with several environmental cleanup sites.  Amphenol Corporation and Honeywell jointly consented to perform certain investigations and remedial and monitoring activities at two sites, and they have been jointly ordered to perform work at another site.  The costs incurred relating to these three sites are reimbursed by Honeywell based on an agreement (the “Honeywell Agreement”) entered into in connection with the acquisition in 1987.  For sites covered by the Honeywell Agreement, to the extent that conditions or circumstances occurred or existed at the time of or prior to the acquisition in 1987, Honeywell is obligated to reimburse Amphenol Corporation 100% of such costs.  Honeywell representatives continue to work closely with the Company in addressing the most significant environmental liabilities covered by the Honeywell Agreement.  Management does not believe that the costs associated with resolution of these or any other environmental matters will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.  The environmental investigation, remedial and monitoring activities identified by the Company, including those referred to above, are covered under the Honeywell Agreement.

 

Note 8- New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”).  SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  In particular, this statement sets forth: (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  SFAS No. 165 is effective for the interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 on June 30, 2009, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements were issued, which was August 6, 2009.

 

Note 9-Stock-Based Compensation

 

In May 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Stock Purchase and Option Plan (the “2009 Option Plan”) for key employees of Amphenol Corporation and Subsidiaries.  The Company previously maintained the 1997 Option Plan (the “1997 Option Plan”) and maintains the 2000 Stock Purchase and Option Plan (the “2000 Option Plan”).  As of April 2009, all previously awarded options under the 1997 Option Plan have been exercised or forfeited, and the 1997 Option Plan has been terminated per the terms of the 1997 Option Plan.   The 2000 Option Plan and the 2009 Option Plan authorize the granting of additional stock options by a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2009, there were no shares of common stock available for the granting of additional stock options under the 2000 Option Plan, and there were 12,323,500 shares of common stock available for the granting of additional stock options under the 2009 Option Plan. Options granted under the 2000 Option Plan and the 2009 Option Plan vest ratably over a period of five years and are exercisable over a period of ten years from the date of grant. In addition, shares issued in conjunction with the exercise of stock options under the 2000 Option Plan and the 2009 Option Plan are subject to management stockholder agreements.

 

In 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Stock Option Plan for Directors of Amphenol Corporation (the “Directors Option Plan”). The Directors Option Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors.  As of June 30, 2009, the maximum number of shares of common stock available for the granting of additional stock options under the Directors Option Plan was 200,000.  Options granted under the Directors Option Plan vest ratably over a period of three years and are exercisable over a period of ten years from the date of grant.

 

The grant-date fair value of each option grant under the 2000 Option Plan, the 2009 Option Plan and the Directors Option Plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs.

Expected share price volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the stock of Amphenol Corporation and implied volatility derived from related exchange traded options. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the option and expected employee exercise and historical post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The expected annual dividend per share was based on Amphenol Corporation’s dividend rate.

 

Stock-based compensation expense includes the estimated effects of forfeitures, which are adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent actual forfeitures differ or are expected to differ from such estimates.  Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized in the period of change and impact the amount of expense to be recognized in future periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s income before income taxes and net income were reduced for stock-based compensation expense by $5,245 and $3,803, respectively, and these reductions were $10,028 and $7,442, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s income before income taxes and net income were reduced for stock-based compensation expense by $3,994 and $2,816, respectively, and these reductions were $7,196 and $5,073, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The expense incurred for stock-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 10-Shareholders’ Equity

 

The Company maintains an open-market stock repurchase program (the “Program”) expiring on January 31, 2010 to repurchase up to 20,000,000 shares of its common stock.  The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock under the Program during the six months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, approximately 1,850,000 shares of common stock may still be purchased under the Program.

 

The Company pays a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $.015 per share. The Company paid its second quarter dividend in the amount of $2,571, or $.015 per share on June 30, 2009 to shareholders of record as of June 10, 2009.  Cumulative dividends declared during 2009 were $5,139.  Total dividends paid in 2009 were $7,706, including those declared in 2008 and paid in 2009.

 

Note 11-Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

 

The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries have a defined benefit pension plan (the “U.S. Plan”) covering certain of its U.S. employees. Benefits under the U.S. Plan are generally based on years of service and compensation and are generally noncontributory. Certain foreign subsidiaries have defined benefit plans covering their employees. The following is a summary of the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit plans as of the most recent actuarial valuations; for each year presented below, projected benefits exceed assets.

The Company intends to make cash contributions to the U.S. Plan in accordance with minimum funding requirements but may also make voluntary cash contributions. Voluntary cash contributions to the U.S. Plan in 2009 and in future years will depend on a number of factors including performance of the U.S. Plan assets.

 

The Company offers various defined contribution plans for its U.S. and foreign employees. Participation in these plans is based on certain eligibility requirements.  The Company matches the majority of employee contributions to the U.S. defined contribution plans with cash contributions up to a maximum of 5% of eligible compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the total matching contributions to these U.S. defined contribution plans were approximately $915 and $948, respectively.

 

Note 12-Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has goodwill totaling $1,349,707 of which $1,276,158 is related to the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment with the remainder related to the Cable Products segment.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, goodwill increased by $117,372, primarily as a result of two acquisitions in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment made during the period. The Company is in the process of completing its analysis of fair value attributes of the assets acquired related to its 2009 and certain of its 2008 acquisitions and anticipates that the final assessment of values will not differ materially from the preliminary assessment.

 

The Company does not have any intangible assets not subject to amortization other than goodwill. A summary of the Company’s amortizable intangible assets as of June 30, 2009 is as follows:

Note 13—Long-Term Debt

 

The Company has a five-year $1,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that is scheduled to expire in August 2011, of which approximately $814,000 was drawn as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $186,000. The Company’s interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 40 basis points. The Company also pays certain annual agency and facility fees.  The Revolving Credit Facility requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Company’s credit rating from Standard & Poor’s was BBB- and from Moody’s was Baa3. In March 2009, the Company entered into a $20,000 letter of credit facility, of which approximately $14,900 was outstanding as of June 30, 2009.

 

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had interest rate swap agreements of $150,000, $250,000 and $250,000 that fix the Company’s LIBOR interest rate at 4.40%, 4.65% and 4.73%, respectively, expiring in December 2009, December 2009 and July 2010, respectively.  The fair value of swaps indicated that termination of the agreements as of June 30, 2009 would have resulted in a pre-tax loss of $17,111; such loss, net of tax of $6,331 is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Note 14- Business Combinations

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R is applicable to the Company for acquisitions completed on or after January 1, 2009 and establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination; and (3) determines what information to disclose in the financial statements. The areas of SFAS 141R that are most applicable to the Company are: (1) SFAS 141R requires companies to expense transaction costs as incurred; (2) any subsequent adjustments to a recorded performance-based liability after its recognition are adjusted through income as opposed to goodwill; and (3) any noncontrolling interests are recorded at fair value.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, goodwill of approximately $127,000 attributable to the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment was recognized related to businesses acquired during the period, which was not significant to the Company either individually or in the aggregate.

 

Note 15—Fair Value Measurements

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 established a new framework for measuring fair value of financial and non-financial instruments and expands related disclosures. The Company does not have any non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. Broadly, the SFAS 157 framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS 157 establishes market or observable inputs as the preferred source of values. Assumptions based on hypothetical transactions are used in the absence of market inputs.

 

The valuation techniques required by SFAS 157 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1          Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

Level 2          Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

13



Table of Contents

 

Level 3          Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

 

The Company maintains policies and procedures to value instruments using the most relevant data available including independent price validation for certain instruments.

 

The Company believes that the only financial instrument subject to SFAS 157 with interim disclosure requirements are derivative instruments which represent interest rate swaps that are independently valued using market observable Level 2 inputs including interest rate yield curves. As of June 30, 2009, the fair values of derivative instruments reflected a liability of $17,111.

 

The Company does not have any other significant financial or non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

Note 16- Derivative Instruments

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”).  SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) requiring: (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations; and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.

 

The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations.  The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. Forward interest rate swap agreements are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings.

 

SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  In accordance with SFAS 133, the Company designates forward interest rate swap agreements on variable-rate borrowings as cash flow hedges.

 

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had the following derivative activity related to cash flow hedges:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, a gain of $2,451 and $4,911, respectively, was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with interest rate contracts.  No gain or loss was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net income during the period.

 

As of June 30, 2009, the derivatives of the Company were considered effective hedges as defined in SFAS 133.

 

Note 17 – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement – Accounts Receivable Securitization

 

A subsidiary of the Company has an agreement whereby the subsidiary can sell an undivided interest of up to $100,000 in a designated pool of qualified accounts receivable (the “Agreement”). The Company services, administers and collects the receivables on behalf of the purchaser. The Agreement includes certain covenants and provides for various events of termination and originally expired in July 2009.  The Agreement was amended and extended in May 2009 and will expire in May 2010.  Due to the short-term nature of the accounts receivable, the fair

value approximates the carrying value.  Program fees payable to the purchaser under the Agreement are equivalent to rates afforded high quality commercial paper issuers plus certain fees and administrative expenses and are included in other expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, approximately $79,000 and $85,000, respectively, of receivables were sold and are therefore not reflected in accounts receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Note 18- Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter and the first six months of 2009 was at an effective rate of 27.5% and 25.8%, respectively.  The provision for income taxes for the second quarter and the first six months of 2008 was at an effective rate of 29.0% and 29.1%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the second quarter and the first six months of 2009 were lower primarily due to a more favorable mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions. In addition, the lower effective tax rate for the first six months of 2009 reflects a reduction of income tax expense of approximately $3,600 in the first quarter of 2009 relating to the completion of certain audits of the Company’s prior year tax returns.

 

As of June 30, 2009, the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which if recognized would impact the effective tax rate, was approximately $34,354, the majority of which is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008

 

Net sales were $685.2 and $1,345.2 in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 compared to $846.8 and $1,617.5 for the same periods in 2008, a decrease of 19% and 17% in U.S. dollars and 16% and 14% in local currencies, respectively. Sales of interconnect products and assemblies (approximately 91% of sales) decreased 19% in U.S. dollars and 17% in local currencies in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 ($621.4 in 2009 versus $771.1in 2008) and 17% in U.S. dollars and 14% in local currencies in the first six months of 2009 compared to 2008 ($1,223.4 in 2009 versus $1,471.7 in 2008). Sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 decreased significantly in the automotive, telecommunications and data communications and industrial markets as a result of a weak end market demand resulting from the global economic crisis. Sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 in the aerospace market decreased primarily due to lower demand in the commercial aircraft market and to a lesser extent the defense market, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions. Sales in the wireless communications market in the second quarter decreased as a result of weak end market demand resulting from the global economic crisis, although for the first six months of 2009, sales slightly increased primarily as a result of strength in the first quarter in China-related programs which did not continue into the second quarter at the same level and the impact of acquisitions. Sales in the wireless device market increased over the prior year as a result of new program wins. Sales decreases occurred in all major geographic regions. Sales of cable products (approximately 9% of sales) decreased 16% in U.S dollars and 11% in local currencies in both the second quarter of 2009 and the first six months of 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 ($63.7 and $121.8 in 2009 versus $75.7 and $145.8 in 2008). This decrease is primarily attributable to a slowdown in spending in international broadband and cable television markets resulting from current weak economic conditions and difficult credit markets.

 

Geographically, sales in the United States in the second quarter and six months of 2009 decreased approximately 17% and 19%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008 ($251.6 and $481.8  in 2009 versus $302.0 and $594.5 in 2008).  International sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 decreased approximately 20% and 16% in U.S. dollars, respectively, ($433.5 and $863.4 in 2009 versus $544.8 and $1,023.0 in 2008) and decreased approximately 16% and 11% in local currencies, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The comparatively stronger U.S. dollar for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 had the effect of decreasing net sales by approximately $22.9 and $46.0, respectively, compared to foreign currency translation rates for the same periods in 2008.

 

The gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was approximately 31.3% for both the second quarter and the first six months of 2009 compared to 32.7% and 32.6% for the respective periods in 2008.  The operating margins in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment decreased approximately 3.0% and 2.8% in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008 primarily a result of reduced volume levels given the current economic environment, partially offset by effective cost control programs. The operating margins in the Cable Products segment increased by approximately 4.3% and 3.0% in the second quarter and the first six months of 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily as a result of the positive impacts of lower material costs and operational cost reduction actions, which more than offset the impact of lower sales volume.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $98.7 and $194.4, or 14.4% of net sales for both the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively, compared to $108.4 and $209.0 for the same periods in 2008, which represented approximately 12.8% and 12.9% of net sales for the respective periods. The decrease in expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 is primarily attributable to significantly lower sales volume and the positive effect of cost reduction actions. Selling, general and administrative expenses includes stock-based compensation expense (Note 9) of $5.2 and $10.0 for the second quarter and six months ended June

30, 2009, respectively, compared to $4.0 and $7.2 for the respective periods in 2008.

 

Interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 was $9.1 and $18.1, respectively, compared to $9.9 and $19.8 for the same periods in 2008. The decreases in the second quarter and the first six months of 2009 compared to the 2008 periods are primarily attributable to lower average interest rates in 2009 partially offset by higher debt levels.

 

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter and the first six months of 2009 was at an effective rate of 27.5% and 25.8%, respectively.  The provision for income taxes for the second quarter and the first six months of 2008 was at an effective rate of 29.0% and 29.1%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the second quarter and the first six months of 2009 were lower primarily due to a more favorable mix of income in lower tax jurisdictions. In addition, the lower effective tax rate for the first six months of 2009 reflects a reduction of income tax expense of approximately $3.6 in the first quarter of 2009 relating to the completion of certain audits of the Company’s prior year tax returns.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash provided by operations was $284.6 in the first six months of 2009 compared to $205.8 in the same 2008 period.  The increase in cash flow is related primarily to a decrease in components of working capital and an increase in non-cash expenses including depreciation and stock-based compensation, which more than offset a reduction in net income and $6.0 of lower receivables sold under the Company’s receivable securitization program. The components of working capital decreased $76.1 in the first six months of 2009 due primarily to decreases of $95.8 and $83.0 in accounts receivable and inventory, respectively, which were partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $72.3 and $31.2, respectively.  The components of working capital increased $69.7 in the first six months of 2008 due primarily to increases of $39.8 in inventory, increases of $22.8 and $14.5 in accounts receivable and other current assets, respectively, as well as decreases in accrued expenses of $3.4 which were offset by an increase in accounts payable of $10.7.

 

Accounts receivable decreased $70.9 to $445.1, primarily reflecting the impact of lower sales levels and a reduction in days sales outstanding, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions of $16.9 and to a lesser extent an increase due to translation resulting from the comparatively weaker U.S. dollar at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 (“Translation”). Days sales outstanding was 70 days at June 30, 2009 compared to 72 days at December 31, 2008.  Inventories decreased $62.6 to $449.9, primarily due to an improvement in inventory days achieved through adjustments to production activity in response to lower demand levels offset by the impact of acquisitions of $19.3 and Translation. Inventory days, excluding the impact of acquisitions, decreased from 88 at December 31, 2008 to 83 at June 30, 2009.  Land and depreciable assets, net, increased $1.0 to $345.5 reflecting capital expenditures of $31.5, fixed assets from acquisitions of $9.5 and the impact of Translation of $2.1, offset by depreciation of $41.1 and disposals of $1.0. Goodwill increased $117.4 to $1,349.7, primarily as a result of two acquisitions in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment made during the period and offset by the impact of Translation. Other long-term assets increased $15.9 to $97.3 primarily due to an increase in identifiable intangible assets resulting from acquisitions made in the first quarter of 2009 partially offset by a decrease in long-term deferred tax assets.  Accounts payable decreased $58.6 to $247.4 primarily as a result of a decrease in purchasing activity during the period related to lower 2009 sales levels offset by the impact of acquisitions of $10.4 and Translation. Total accrued expenses decreased $138.8 to $189.7 primarily due to payments and adjustments made related to accrued acquisition-related obligations of $95.4 as well as a decrease in accrued income taxes and employee benefits and Translation of $15.7.

 

For the first six months of 2009, cash from operations of $284.6, net borrowings from the Revolving Credit Facility of $35.3 and proceeds from the exercise of stock options including tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements of $3.7 were used to fund acquisition-related payments of $271.6, capital expenditures of $30.8, dividend payments of $7.7, purchases of short-term investments of $0.6 and an increase in cash on hand of $5.8. For the first six months of 2008, cash from operations of $205.8, net borrowings from the Revolving Credit Facility of $94.3 and proceeds from the exercise of stock options including excess tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements of $13.8 were used to fund purchases of treasury stock of $143.7, acquisition-related payments of $99.5, capital expenditures of $50.5, purchases of short-term cash investments of $8.6, dividend

payments of $5.3 and an increase in cash on hand of $5.1.

 

The Company has a five-year $1,000.0 unsecured revolving credit facility (“the Revolving Credit Facility”) that is scheduled to expire in August 2011, of which approximately $814.0 was drawn as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $186.0. The Company’s interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 40 basis points. The Company also pays certain annual agency and facility fees.  The Revolving Credit Facility requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Company’s credit rating from Standard & Poor’s was BBB- and from Moody’s was Baa3. In March 2009, the Company entered into a $20.0 letter of credit facility, of which approximately $14.9 was outstanding as of June 30, 2009.

 

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had interest rate swap agreements of $150.0, $250.0 and $250.0 that fix the Company’s LIBOR interest rate at 4.40%, 4.65% and 4.73%, respectively, expiring in December 2009, December 2009 and July 2010, respectively.  The fair value of swaps indicated that termination of the agreements as of June 30, 2009 would have resulted in a pre-tax loss of $17.1; such loss, net of tax of $6.3 is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

A subsidiary of the Company has an agreement whereby the subsidiary can sell an undivided interest of up to $100.0 in a designated pool of qualified accounts receivable (the “Agreement”). The Company services, administers and collects the receivables on behalf of the purchaser. The Agreement includes certain covenants and provides for various events of termination and originally expired in July 2009.  The Agreement was amended and extended in May 2009 and will expire in May 2010.  Due to the short-term nature of the accounts receivable, the fair value approximates the carrying value.  Program fees payable to the purchaser under the Agreement are equivalent to rates afforded high quality commercial paper issuers plus certain fees and administrative expenses and are included in other expenses, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, approximately $79.0 and $85.0, respectively, of receivables were sold and are therefore not reflected in accounts receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Company expects its primary ongoing cash requirements will be for operating and capital expenditures, product development activities, repurchases of its common stock, dividends and debt service.  The Company may also use cash to fund all or part of the cost of future acquisitions as well as to fund liabilities for performance-based additional cash consideration on prior and future acquisitions.  The Company’s debt service requirements consist primarily of principal and interest on bank borrowings. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash flow, the Revolving Credit Facility and the sale of receivables under the Agreement. In addition, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $225.8 as of June 30, 2009, the majority of which is in non-U.S. accounts. The Company expects that ongoing requirements for operating and capital expenditures, product development activities, repurchase of its common stock, dividends and debt service requirements will be funded from these sources; however, the Company’s sources of liquidity could be adversely affected by, among other things, a decrease in demand for the Company’s products, a deterioration in certain of the Company’s financial ratios, a decline in its credit ratings or a deterioration in the quality of the Company’s accounts receivable.

 

The Company maintains an open-market stock repurchase program (the “Program”) expiring on January 31, 2010 to repurchase up to 20 million shares of its common stock.  The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock under the Program during the six months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock may still be purchased under the Program.

 

The Company pays a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $.015 per share. The Company paid its second quarter dividend in the amount of $2.6, or $.015 per share on June 30, 2009 to shareholders of record as of June 10, 2009.  Cumulative dividends declared during 2009 were $5.1.  Total dividends paid in 2009 were $7.7, including those declared in 2008 and paid in 2009.

 

The Company intends to make cash contributions to the U.S. Pension Plan in accordance with minimum funding requirements but may also make voluntary cash contributions. Voluntary cash contributions to the U.S. Plan in 2009 and in future years will depend on a number of factors including performance of U.S. Pension Plan assets.

The Company intends to retain the remainder of its earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of the Company’s business, to repurchase its common stock and to repay outstanding indebtedness.  Management believes that the Company’s working capital position, ability to generate strong cash flow from operations, availability under its Revolving Credit Facility and access to credit markets will allow it to meet its obligations for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

 

Environmental Matters

 

Certain operations of the Company are subject to environmental laws and regulations which govern the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, as well as the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. The Company believes that its operations are currently in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and that the costs of continuing compliance will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

Subsequent to the acquisition of Amphenol Corporation from Allied Signal Corporation (“Allied Signal”) in 1987 (Allied Signal merged with and into Honeywell International, Inc. in December 1999 (“Honeywell”)), Amphenol Corporation and Honeywell were named jointly and severally liable as potentially responsible parties in connection with several environmental cleanup sites.  Amphenol Corporation and Honeywell jointly consented to perform certain investigations and remedial and monitoring activities at two sites, and they have been jointly ordered to perform work at another site.  The costs incurred relating to these three sites are reimbursed by Honeywell based on an agreement (the “Honeywell Agreement”) entered into in connection with the acquisition in 1987.  For sites covered by the Honeywell Agreement, to the extent that conditions or circumstances occurred or existed at the time of or prior to the acquisition in 1987, Honeywell is obligated to reimburse Amphenol Corporation 100% of such costs.  Honeywell representatives continue to work closely with the Company in addressing the most significant environmental liabilities covered by the Honeywell Agreement.  Management does not believe that the costs associated with resolution of these or any other environmental matters will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.  The environmental investigation, remedial and monitoring activities identified by the Company, including those referred to above, are covered under the Honeywell Agreement.

 

Safe Harbor Statement

 

Statements in this report that are not historical are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other related federal securities laws, and should be considered subject to the many uncertainties and risks that exist in the Company’s operations and business environment. These uncertainties and risks, which include, among other things, economic and currency conditions, market demand and pricing and competitive and cost factors, are set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated. The Company does not undertake to update such forward-looking statements.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Company, in the normal course of doing business, is exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates.  There has been no material change in the Company’s assessment of its sensitivity to foreign currency exchange rate risk since its presentation set forth, in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in its 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company had interest rate swap agreements of $150.0, $250.0 and $250.0 that fix the Company’s LIBOR interest rate at 4.40%, 4.65% and 4.73%, respectively, expiring in December 2009, December 2009 and July 2010, respectively.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s average LIBOR rate was 3.76%.  A 10% change in the LIBOR interest rate at June 30, 2009 would have the effect of increasing or decreasing interest expense by approximately $0.1. The Company does not expect changes in interest rates to have a material effect on income or cash flows in 2009, although there can be no assurances that interest rates will not significantly change.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
